    Mesoscale Discussion 0921
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0350 PM CDT Sun May 31 2026

    Areas affected...Parts of northwest and north-central Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 312050Z - 312315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong-severe downbursts are possible with any
    storms that develop over the next several hours.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows deepening high-based
    cumulus evolving within a zone of low-level confluence in
    north-central and northwest OK -- where a sharp gradient in
    low-level moisture and boundary-layer mixing is evident. Continued
    heating in this zone should eventually support the development of
    isolated thunderstorms this afternoon. Temperatures in the upper 90s
    amid middle/upper 60s dewpoints are yielding a favorable environment
    for strong to severe downbursts. Around 30 kt of effective shear in
    the northern part of the area will conditionally favor storm
    organization and a locally greater severe risk, though most storms
    are expected to remain short-lived.
